HODs 2017: 7-10 September.

Please note - registration has now closed for this year. The dates for the 2018 festival are 13-16 September and registration will open in March - although if you wish to connect now we will set you up ready!

Firstly...

Find out more about our entry criteria and the support we offer then follow the steps below. (Remember - the sooner you register, the more we can support you.)

Registration step by step...

1 - Connect with us

Ask for a login to join the mailing list and gain access to the Organiser area - this is where you'll find the registration form and a whole host of support materials. Please note registration has closed for 2017 but you can still connect to us and we will set you up ready for next year.

2 - Submit your details

Submit your registration form to the team - you'll see its status change online.

3 - Check your listings

Events that need our insurance will be reviewed by the team before full registration, if there's a query we'll be in touch, otherwise you will get an automatic email of approval. This might take a few weeks as we're a small team, please bear with us!

Listings go live on the website from mid-July - do check your entry is correct and present.

4 - Apply for material

The free promotional material becomes available in early summer. Once you have submitted an event you will be able to apply for it online.

5 - Keep us posted

Let us know if anything needs changing in the run up to the event. Double check your risk assessment measures. Then have a wonderful event and tell us all about it afterwards!
